OLD COURT. Before Mr. Sergeant AKABIN and a Aliddlesex Jury. HIGHWAY ROBBERY. Hayer, aged 23 wasindicted for assaulting Frances Howell on the King's highway, and stealing from her person three keyS, a handkerchief, and 17s: Frances Howell lives in Bethnal-green. Her husband is a seafaring man; he had been out two days and two nights, and on the 18th of July she went out to look for him. At a quarter past eleven. o'clock at night on her re turn home she. saw about a dozen men standing near Brick lane; aftershe passed them, two followed and asked her for something to drink,; she went on, • and was afterwards met by a person who held up his hands before his face, at which moment one of the persons who followed, seized her by the shoulders and she was robbed. Could not say that the prisoner was the man who either met her with his hands before his face, or took hold of her by the shoulders ; thought the prisoner might be the man that seized her, ,but might be mistaken in him. Another woman appeared who was present, but she did not think the prisoner the man. The Officer apprehended the prisoner upon the descrip tion given by the prosecutrix. Mr. Sergeant ARABIN considered the evidence too loose for the Jury to find the prisoner guilty of the capital charge, or indeed of any charge.---. Not HIGHWAY ROBBERY. Catherine Parnienton and Sarah Jarvis, were indicted for assaulting AlOysius Last on the King's highway, and stealing from his person a watch ; and William Sturdy, for assisting the two females afterwards, well knowing them to have committed the felony. The prosecutor deposed, that on. the night laid in the indictment, he was met by the two female prisoners and two men. The men seized and struck him, and the women took his watch from him. He was sure that it was the females who took the watch, though► he could not say which. The men ran otr, and very soon after he was attacked by Sturdy who knocked him down. The women then ran away. He got up, and ran after the females ; saw one of them go into a house and there lost them, when he was again overtaken, and struck by Sturdy. He was sure that the prisoners were the persons who attacked and robbed him. Had never seen the watch since. James Proctor remembered, on the 24th of August, see ing Sturdy holding the prosecutor in Lisson-street, Lisson grove. The prosecutor fell, then got up, and ran after the prisoner, Parmenton, whom he knew before. Did not know whether Parmenton ran into a house in George street or not ; knew the other female before. James Gibbs, an officer,' went in search of the prisoners; when be got to where they lodged, be found Sturdy and Parmenton living as man and wife, mid Jarvis in the room also, who ran under the bed to hide herself. Another officer assisted to take the prisoners into cus- tody. The two females, when calledon fin• their defence, made none, except denying their guilt. Mr. Sergeant ARARIN summed up. He had not called on Sturdy for his defence, because, from the testimony given, it did not appear that he was present when the robbery took place; he ought not to have been indicted as a principal, but as an accessary, which, perhaps, he might yet be; but at present he was entitled to his acquittal.— As to the females, if the Jury - believed the evidence, they would have to find them guilty. The Jury acquitted Sturdy, and found the female pri soners Guilty—Death. Mr. Sergeant ARAM quite concurred in the propriety Of this verdict, and desired Mr. Wontiter to detain Sturdy till the next Session's ; a bill to be prepared against him' in the meantime, and the witnesses. bound over to prosecute, as it was absolutely necessary that the public should be protected against such a character. Before Mr. Justice LITTLYDA LE and Mr. Justice CASELit.) EXTENSIVE ROBBERY Thomas Hall, aged 32, was indicted for stealing in the dwelling-house of Emanuel Allen, two Bank-notes value 150/.; and Elizabeth Hall, aged 20, for receiving one of the said notes, value 100/., well knowing the same to have been stolen. Mr. ALLEY conducted the prosecution—Mr. Allen, his client, was a solicitor of. great respectability in Soho, and the male prisoner had been clerk to that gentleman. On the Bth of August, Mr. Allen • received a large sum of money, which he counted over,,and put into his box ; soon afterwards he went. to the box, and found the sum in ones tion was gone, which he would distinctly trace to have been in the custody of the prisoners. Mr. Allen deposed that he was a solicitor in Carlisle street, Soho; he was not in partnership with his sons, who also carried on the profession; the male prisoner was a clerk to his sons ; on , the 9th of August last, he was paid a large 'sum ; a few days afterwards he went to hiS cash box, and found that a 1001. note, which he had received from his son Charles, and .a .50/. note, received from Mr. HuMphries, were missing. The male prisoner was in the service of his sons till the. 9th of August;, he thought he had put the whole of the money into the cash-box, but found that he had incautiously left the money lost on a desk in the office.; his sons and Mr. Gilby are in part nership.• • , Cross-examined, by Mr, ANDHEWS—He. got the money. on Wednesday, and until he looked into the cash-box on SatUrday, hisiMpression was that he had put the money there. His son-in-law, Mr. Gilby, scolded the prisoner in mild terms on Thursday, the 14th, for neglect of duty. Charles Pettit Allen—Lis solo() last witness, and in partnership with Mr. Gilby. He and his partner carry on their business in last witness's house, but neither of them live there. Paid a 1001. note to his father on the 9th of August. Mr. Gilby—Paid the same note on the same day to Mr. Allen, jun. The office in which Mr. Allen, sen. transacts his business is one to which all the clerks, twelve in num ber, have access. On Thursday told the male prisoner that he ought to have left the office long ago, and desired him to walk off; Humphries on the 7th of August received from. m es ;rs. Martiney and Co. Bankers, a 1001. note, and another from Messrs. Hoare and Co., the larger of which he paid to Mr. Gilby, - and the smaller to Mr. Allen, sea. Mr. Allen sen. and Mr. Gilby identified the notes, which were produced by a clerk in the Bank of England. The hud no doubt t hat the femal e prisoner .was the he had paid the gold for the lot note.

The Richard Price lives at No. 7, St. Ames-eour t.iof , prisoners came to his house on the evening of the 9 1 Aukst, and took a furnished attic, where they slept.On the Wm. Taylor lodged in last witness's house. b a night of the 10th, about 12 o'clock, lie was awoke m y of noise. He ascertained that it proceeded from the ro°.-- b e the prisoners, and that the male one was intoxicated; . heard the male prisoner say he was much astonished, after he had been in that house long as he had been, to be as accused as he had been th at d ay. Immediate l y afterwards he heard a rustling of . paper money, and the female pri soner, in a tone of astonishment, inquiring how he came by it. This excited his curiosity to such an extent, that he got out of bed s and listened ;4 tilt wtkinfotting. He heard him reply to her inquiry, " It's no odds, the money was his; he should go abroad; would she go with him ?" She asked where he meant to go? He said, first to Dover, then to Calais, and next , to somewhere else. She said she should not go, and wished he would return the property to somebody, the name of whom he could not hear. He said he should go ; she observed that she should not, and wished him to take the property back, and not defraud so kind a benefactor. Cross-examined—Had lodged in the same place for abOut a fortnight before the 9th ; did not mention what he had heard for two or three days to anybody ; when persons are heard through a partition, it is more difficult to understand them than if there Was no partition : when persons are intoxicated, they also speak more thickly than when they are sober, but on this occasion witness was positive that he heard distinctly every circumstance that he now related. Joseph Donner, clerk to Mr. Kirkham, watchmaker and silversmith in the Borough.—Remembers the male prisoner calling at his shop and purchasing a gold watch at 12/. and a s►lver one at 24 in payment of which he gave a SU note, and received the balance; saw the prisoner at the police-office, and was sure that he was the person ; could now positively say the prisoner was the man. Wm. Dodd, a clerk in Messrs. Hoare and Co.'s received the note from Mr. Kirkland, and paid into Mr. Humphries. Mr. Humphries, and Mr. Allen, sen. identified the note to be the one Mr. A. had lost. The officer who took the prisoners into custody found none of the property or watches on t hiprisoners. He heard the female prisoner sa y to h er husband, don't tell where you got the bills, or what you did with them. Mr. ANDREWS now submitted, that the capital charge against the male prisoner f a il e d, on these two grounds, that when he first took the money, he had no felonious intent, but took it for safe custody, intending to deliver it to its right owner ; and next, that Mr. Allen, intending to put the money into safe custody, bad not done so, but negligently left it on the desk; Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE stated, that the case for the prosecution was now closed, and that the female was not called upon for a defence, but that if the husband had any to make, now was his time. _ _ The male prisoner declined to say any thing, leaving his ease to his Counsel. The Learned JUDGE summed up. In his observations he stated, it might be more difficult to trace the .1001. note than the 50/. one, and that therefore the best plan for the Jury would be, to confine their attention to the 50/. note. There were two questions for the Jury to consider, first, whether the prisoner was guilty of stealing in a dwell ing-house at all; and next, whether he was guilty of steal ing to an amount above 40s. ; if the prisoner was guilty of stealing at all, his offence was a capital one, the amount of the notes being far above 40s. ; but it there was no intention to steal the money, when the prisoner took it, and that he then meant to return the money to Mr. Allen, and that the intention of keeping it came upon him, sometime after he left the house, the jury could - only find hint guilty of larceny. The Jury, without hesitation, acquitted the female prisoner, and also acquitted the male prisoner of the capital charge, but found him Guilty of a larceny. Elizabeth Luan, aged 22, was indicted for stealing two gowns, and other articles, to the value of - 71. The cir cumstances of this case were, that the prisoner went to hire herself as a servant of all work to a Mr. and Mrs. Wright, at Lambeth; she remained there for about Live weeks, and then, at an early hour, before the family were up, went away. Subsequently it was ascertained that she bad taken with her several articles of wearing ap parel, some of which were traced to her, having pledged theM; but Mr. Adolphus, for the prosecution, not being able to trace the whole of the goods, gave up the capital charge, but thought he had proved the larceny. The prisoner denied the charge. She appeared in a very ill state of health, and stated herself 'to be without a friend in the world.—Guilty of a petty larceny. NEW COURT. Before the CO/4110N StRiiEANT. Thomas Barnett stood indicted for stealing on.the 17th July last two shirts, valued 75., tend one shift, valued Ss., the property of 'William Griffith. Mr. Quin stated the case.• Mr. dritlith's servant, on the day mentioned, about one o'clock, put out the articles to dry , on a green beside Mr. Grillith's house, and in about an hour they were gone. John Groves's house commands a view of Mr. Griflith's green from his window; on the day mentioned, witness saw a person take away the shirts from the green; witness .then went out and pursued the person, and cried " stop thief." The thief ran through a brick-field, and witness could not Overtake him. Cross-examined by Mr. ,PHILLIPS—Did not see the man's face; could not say it was th e prisoner. Henry Shirley is a bricklayer; was working in the said brick field on the said day. He heard a cry of " stop thief," but does not know who said it. Saw a person running through the field, who was the prisoner ; he was not pursued by any body. Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—The prisoner was 60 yards distant from witness; might be 100 yards, more or less, for aught he knew. Witness never saw the pri soner before that day, but. still he is positive lie is the per son who was running through the field. By_the COURT—Did not, see Mr. Groves that day. (The Common SERGEANT here de.,ired witness not to leave the Court, and read his evidence before the Magis trate, to whom he stated that he heard Mr. Groves cry " stop. thief," and saw biro. - The witness, in consequence of this palpable contradiction of the evidence given by him before the Magistrate, was.committed to Newgate to stand trial for peijury.) The Jury without hesitation, acquittedthe prisoner. John Musphy stood indicted for stealing on the 11th of August, three axes and a hammer, the property of John It appeared in evidence, that the prisoner had been em ployed as a labourer by the prosecutor , in the parish of Marylebone, and was apprehended in the act of carrying the above implements away, - when going home to din ner . Verdict Guilty. Recommended to mercy on account of his misery. George Palmer stood indicted • for stealing a silk pocket handkerchief, the property of Edward John Grafton, on the 31st of August. The prosecutor stated, that the handkerchief had been taken out of his pockets, while walking in the Strand ; that lie had afterwards seen it in the possessio n o f th e pr i soner , wlco, on being charged with it, dropped it in the stseet, - whereupos he was apprehended. The prisoner, in his defence, handed in a long written statement, denying all knowledge of the transaction, and complaining of the treatment which he had experienced from the watchman, on being taken into custody.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS--(Tors DAY.) Priscilla Meaning, Susannah Freeman, and Gorge Freeman, were charged by John FairfaX, a watehma n with having assaulted him in the execution of his duty. It appeared in `evidence; that the latter had overstepped his duty, and had beaten one of the females in•a cruel man ner ; the male prisoner fought in defence of the females. — Not Guilty. • James Mq.offin was indicted for ill-using his wife. He pleaded guilty, and was bound in his own recognizance of .501. to keep the peace for one year. James M'lntyre, a hardy-looking weather-beaten sailor, was indicted for assaulting John Phillips, a watchman, in the execution of his duty, on the 17th of August last, in the parish of St. Paul, Shadwell. He made a very good defence, in which lie stated that he had been a British sailor for thirty years. Verdict—Not Guilty. James Hayden was indicted for assaulting John Pin chin, a constable, on the 13th, at Bethnal-green. John Pinchin depoied, that the prisoner was one of the mob of bullock-hunters. On the day mentioned, a great number of persons assembled with the prisoner in Brick lane, at a house a few doors from that of witness, where a distraint had been made by a broker for rent. His notice was first attracted by the noise of those persons at the hack of his house, he looked out of the window, and saw a great number of brickbats, &c. thrown from the next yard by the mob. He asked them what they wanted; the pri soner and several others cried out with oaths, bring out the broker (who had made his escape into another house); he told theM he was not there,and that they might come in and see, if they chose. Prisoner replied, " no, that is what you want." They continued pelting witness's house,. and the prisoner broke three panes of glaw, and cut his head with ad oyster shell. They used dreadful imprecations against the broker and his man, Several witnesses confirmed this statement, and the prisoner was sentenced to three months' hard labonr. John Quigley, James Ryan, and. Wm. Qnigko, were in dieted for assaulting Robert Skelton 'a -watchman, in the execution of his duty, on the 27th oiAugnst. Mr. QUIN United the ease. He observed that the three prisoners were all Irishmen, and being an Irishman, him self, it was a matter of great regret to him that his coun trymen had not some better notions of regularity. They seemed to consider that breaking the King's peace, and breaking of beads, were highly civilised amusements. They had had several severe lessons to teach them the contrary, but he was sorry to say they seemed to have .but little effect. Robert Skelton stated, that on the 27th September, be tween one and two o'clock in the morning, he was on duty near Islingtotkurnpike ; the prisoner and four other per sons were dancing on the pavement and making a "cry great noise; desired them to go home, but they told him with abuse that they would not, and John Quigley ptit his fist in his face; .witness took hold of him ; Ryan tried to get him away ; a scuffle ensued ; witness and John Quigley fell on the ground, and were jumped du and kicked by the others. - Another watchman swore that. John Quigley jumped several times on the head of the last witness, anti that Ryan kicked hint in the face. Two other persons proved their great violence. , The prisoners all replied that they were very quiet, and that it was the fault of the watchman. . . No evidence being adduced against William Quigley, the Jury found him Not Guilty, and the two others Guilty. They were accordingly sentenced to six months' hard labour. John Allan Robinson was indicted for assaulting his own father, John Robinson. The prisoner pleaded " Guilty." The father stated, with great feeling, the cruel treat ment of his son, in frequently striking him, when remon strating with him on the general irregularity of his be haviour. Mr. MARRVATT asked the father if he wished to have the prisoner punished, or himself protected from future violence. The father said that he knew of no method but that of imprisonment, which could keep burn from his had usso. eiktes. Mr. MAIt it I,ATT observed that the duty of a father would be rather to correct by lenience than severity. The father uggested some solitary confinement for a short time; but the Chairman ordered him to find a surety in 40/. for his good behaViour. On his expressing his contrition, and begging his father's pardon, the Chairman said, that he would then alter the sentence at the father's application. This, however, he rather • declined; and the prisoner not having a surety, was ordered to be brought up on the ad journment day. CORONERS' INQUESTS.—SUSPECTED MUS DER. — Yesterday evening an Inquisition was taken lathe Red Lion,Church street, Lambeth, on view of the , body of a male child, who was found concealed in an out-building in the neighbourhood, and who it was reported had been murdered.--After a patient inves tigation, during which no direct circumstances of a suspicious nature, except that of the deceased's neck being swollen, trans pired, the jury returned a verdict of " Found dead ;" but how the deceased came by his death there was no evidence to show. On Tuesday last an inquisition was taken before G. Got NNE, Esq., at Turner's hill, in the parish of Worth, Sussex, on view of the body of Elizabeth Clifton, the wife of Henry Clifton, bailiff to General Cartwright, of the Grove house, who, on Monday last, was unhappily killed by the acci dental discharge of her husband's gun. It appeared in evidence, that Clifton and a friend of his who had called upon him, having agreed on going out to shoot rabbits, the former went up stairs, and brought his gun from the bed-room into the kitchen, where hel proceeded to brush the dust from tile pun of the lock, and finding the lock did not move so freely as it should do, stooped down .to remedy the defect, by loosening its screw, when by some means his gun 'exploded, and Mrs. Clifton, who was standing in un op `posite direction, with her buck towards the gun, received the whole of its contents in the calves of her legs, which were dread fully lacerated, anti particularly the left leg, the hones of which, a little above the ancle joint, were shattered to pieces. Able surgi , cal assistance was quickly procured, when an amputation of the shattered limb, a little below the knee, was, determined upon, but before the (wet ation could be commenced, an extreme hemorrhage put a period to her sufferings, us she expired about four hours after the accident.—Verdict---" Accidental Death," with a deodand of :no on the gun.—The husband of the deceased stated that he, did not know the gun wae loaded, although he usually kept it so in his beds-room; for the protection of his ouster's prupprty. Clifton wait a woman much respected in !ter situation...7-4qm, Paper. A melancholy accident happened at. Sheerness Ott Monday morning. A little boy, about five or six years of .age, fell overboard from the Terrible, of '74 guns, lying close to the Dock-yard wall. His father, on seeing the accident, jumped over board after him ; and, placing the child on his hack, was swim ming towards► a boat, within'. few yards of them, the toy's a rm s being round his • father's neck; but by some unfortunate cireun►- stance, the boy slid from oil' the father's back, sad his body came round to the parent's front, the child still clinging round the father's neck, by which position it is supposed the man could not use his arms to support himself and child in the wav►•s, When they went to the bottom together, the child with► his arms still etubrac. ing the father's neck, anti never rose again. .
